Toronto’s Pkew Pkew Pkew released a super fun, catchy song last week called “65 Nickels”.
The video is great, and that’s pretty much all you need to know, so click on it below and have a watch/listen!
Happy Monday!
VERY EXCITING NEWS!
Especially for me…because I’ve been asking about this for a while now!
Ontario band Partner, whom I discovered last year as part of the Polaris Prize jury, and totally fell in love with, just announced that they’re finally doing a West Coast tour!
They’ll be in Vancouver, co-headlining with Dude York, at the Fox Cabaret on February 20th. HUZZAH!
They also released a song to celebrate called “Lost My Pick, Can I Borrow One?” which you can check out below, but seriously…circle the February 20th show on your calendar.
Vancouver’s Brittney Rand (formerly of Mu) has a new solo project Cherrie Laurel and is about to release a new album (A Furnace, A Fire - out on December 6th).
We have the first single, “Pleases Me”, and the accompanying video, and according to the release it’s a song “that explores the rhythm in isolation in a very gentle way”.
Can’t wait to hear more!
Today Greg Drummond has released a new single (and a new video) today!
It’s been a while since we got new music from him, and there is a promise of more on the way.
This song “Annabelle” is about a woman living in her car and struggling in the big city. It’s off of his upcoming album, and has some serious Bahamas-esque vibes to it (aka YES PLEASE!).
Can’t wait to here more, and we’ll post it when we do.

nêhiyawak released the final track from their new ep starlight, which is now out!
“open window” was the fifth of five new songs from the group - if you remember a few weeks ago I spoke about seeing them live during Break Out West and being super impressed.
Can’t wait to see them again, but until then, I’ll just listen to this new EP on repeat.
I get a lot of press releases in the mail, and every now and then I find a new (to me) artist that I really enjoy.
This new song, “Life Through Closed Eyes” by London (UK) based artist Hero Fisher was the perfect background track to my grey rainy day.
She has a new album called Glue Moon, that is out now if you want to hear more!

Jasper Sloan Yip released a new video today for the song “Put Up Your Hair” from his latest album Post Meridiem.
To celebrate the one year anniversary of the record, he’s putting out a special vinyl and having a release party this Thursday at the Red Gat Revue Stage on Granville Island.
You can get tickets to the event by clicking here - as well as a copy of the vinyl - or if you’re not in Vancouver, the vinyl is available here.
Check out the new video below for the single, which features Jasper’s wife, and was filmed by Nelson Mouëllic (who also took that fancy new press photo up there).

New music from Jennah Barry! Finally!
It was 2012 when we got her debut solo album “Young Men” and now we have a new single, “Roller Disco” and the promise of a new album out next year (hopefully on the sooner side!).
Check the song out below, it’s perfect for this grey rainy Saturday afternoon…
